    Bottom Corner Dent on New Out of Box MacBook Pro 15”. Exchange?

    I just got a brand new Mid-2015 MacBook Pro from a Best Buy and strait out of the box I saw (and can’t unsee) a dent on the bottom corner of the device. Is this a warranted reason for an exchange? Would you deal with it or exchange it for a new one? Especially if you spent $1500+ on this...

    iPhone 8/Plus iPhone 8 Plus - Is it me or...

    Picked myself up an iPhone 8 Plus the other day and went shopping for a case on Saturday after deciding that I couldn't go naked with this phone. Popped into the local Apple Store to see what they had and went for one of the Otterbox Statement cases. While on the way out, I had a play with one...

    iPhone X iPhone X scratched in 4 days

    So this happened - screen is basically ruined in 4 days of normal use. These grooves can be felt not just by a nail, but with a naked fingertip, so I assume this is not an oleophobic coating that got damaged - it's the glass itself. I must say I've never used a screen protector of any form and...

    MacBook Pro Quality Issues

    Hi everyone, after a lot of consideration, I bought a new 15,4“ MacBook Pro yesterday. Then, earlier this morning, when I first saw it in the daylight, I realized there are a couple of fine scratches on the lid of the device. Is this normal? It was bought as new and packaged like a new device...

    Screen scratched - Macbook pro 13" 2015 retina

    I've been reading a lot of threads about scratches and coating peeling off from macbook pros. However, I wasn't able to find yet something concrete about it. I have a 2009 macbook pro 15", a macbook air 11" 2011 and now a macbook pro 13" 2015. I never had issues with the first two, despite...

    My new macbook pro has a scratch on its screen, should I return it?

    Hey, I wanted some opinions. I noticed that there's a scratch on my screen. I just got the laptop yesterday and have not cleaned the screen. It's not noticeable at all when I use it.

    Scratch or screen defect?

    Let me start out by saying that I've owned the iPhone 3G, 4S, 5, 5s, 6, 6s, and now 7. I have never once had a scratch on my device until today. I looked at my 7 Plus and saw a line on my screen that is perfectly straight and runs parallel with the long way of the phone! I can feel this line...

    Little hole in the aluminium body - MacBook Pro 2016

    I noticed that my new MacBook Pro 13" (late 2016), which has something more than two weeks, has this strange tiny hole (I actually don't really know how to describe it) in its aluminium body, right between two keys (E and R). I tried to figure out if this was there from the moment in which I...

    Keyboard of the new MacBook Pro scratches the screen.

    The lower edge of the frame around the keyboard is scratching the screen of my MacBook Pro 2016. Probably because I use laptop bag to carry it. It’s not the first Macbook that has this flaw. Since I can't use the original box to carry it around, is there something I could buy to use between...

    Jet Black Finish New Problem (not scratching)

    I've had a Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus for a little while now and was extremely concerned about scratches based on early reviews, the Apple disclaimer, and viewing a demo unit in store before mine arrived. I thought a case would defeat the purpose of the Jet Black color and would end up leading to...

    iPhone 7 Plus Camera Lens Scratched

    Just received my iPhone 7 Plus from Best Buy last week. Already sent my iPhone 6 back to Verizon for credit. Just noticed a scratch right in the middle of the wide angle camera lens. I've only had the phone for a few days, in a case from day one, so it was definitely scratched from the factory...
